It’d be best to never underestimate a Scottish police officer

A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Scottish police officer.

He thinks that he is smarter than the officer because he is a lawyer from London, and is certain that he has a better education than any Scottish policeman. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Scottish officer’s expense.

The Scottish policeman says, “License and registration, please.”

And the London Lawyer says, “What for?”

The Scottish policeman responds, “Ye didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

The London Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

The Scottish officer says, “Ye still didn’t come to a complete stop.  License and registration, please.”

The London Lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”

The Scottish officer says, “The difference is, ye have to come to a complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!”

The London Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

And the Scottish officer says, “Sounds fair.  Exit your vehicle, sir.”

The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.

The Scottish officer takes out his baton and starts beating the living shit out of the lawyer and finally says, “Da you want me to stop or just slow down?”
